Flank Simon Miller comes in for DHL Western Province U20 in the only change ahead of the final against Lions U20 in Johannesburg on Saturday.
Miller missed the semifinal victory against Vodacom Bulls U20 at Newlands through injury but has recovered to take his place in the starting line-up for the final, which kicks off at 13h00 on Saturday at Emirates Airline Park and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
With Miller at blindside flank, Jarrod Taylor moves back to No.8 and Armand Maritz shifts to the replacements bench.
DHL Western Province U20 Head Coach Jerome Paarwater said that his team are focused on doing the blue and white hoops proud in the final.
“It has been a great campaign for us and a fitting final between the only two unbeaten teams in the competition.
“We have built up some pleasing momentum lately, but we know that it will all come down to how we perform in the 80 minutes on Saturday.
“The team has trained well and it is great to have some continuity in selection heading into a final, so we will be able to give it our best,” he said.
